Yes, 212, to be fair, I had the broad description that it just takes things a tad longer to get up and running again whilst airborne.
Geoffers is right, of course, the lessons learnt so far across a range of issues regarding this heli is that it affords you the time to take your time, as it were, and not to do anything hasty in response to various problems. He and I had several discussions about the way the QRH says to do things when common sense, and even the experience brought from other aircraft wouold suggest a better alternative.
However, what I said in Post #431 still holds true - why is it that we are reduced to scrabbling around, whether by telephone, by e-mail or even here on PPRuNe, trying to keep up to date with developments, chasing information on various small issues arising or whatever else happens to be going on with what may yet prove to be the benchmark aircraft in the category for some considerable time.
Even the weekend in Valencia (why does it have to be the bloody weekend anyway?) is on the basis of sharing the schedule with the other models. Can Agusta not spare the personnel to do these gatherings one model at a time? Or am I just being grumpy over my morning coffee?
And another little snippet which isn't really that important and won't affect most, if any users. The aircraft is certified for SPIFR, fair enough. The dual controls are actually removable. But there are no plugs to maintain circuit continuity when the duals are out - they don't exist, nor, so far as I can gather, has anybody even considered making any yet. It's not a very important matter, but it does suggest some haphazard planning, does it not?
